Delano Jacquard Velvet Cushion - Ochre/Blush

The Delano cushion works a three-dimensional lattice across its front, where clusters of interlocking blocks in ochre, olive and dusky blush pink read as a tumbling geometric pattern. It is worked as a jacquard, so the design is built into the weave rather than printed on top, and the raised blocks catch the light against the flatter woven ground between them. The cover measures 40 by 60cm, a landscape rectangle rather than a square, which is the shape that sits neatly along the back of a sofa or against the pillows on a bed.

A rectangular cushion of this size earns its place at the front of a group, layered ahead of larger square cushions where its pattern can be seen in full. The warm ochre and blush palette suits a room already leaning into earthy, autumnal tones, and the photographs show it sitting comfortably against a deep teal sofa where the mustard notes lift against the cooler upholstery. Use it singly as a long bolster-style accent, or pair it with plainer cushions so the lattice does the talking.

The reverse is a plain soft velvet in solid ochre, finished with an oxford border that frames the cushion with a flat lip of fabric around the seam. A hidden zip closure runs along one edge so the cover can be taken off. It is made from 100% polyester throughout, a hard-wearing fibre that holds colour well and resists everyday staining, which suits a cushion meant to be handled and leant on. The Delano range is offered in more than one colourway, so this ochre and blush version can be matched to how your room already reads.

What does the jacquard weave mean for how the pattern looks?

The lattice is woven into the fabric rather than printed, so the raised velvet blocks stand slightly proud of the ground and catch the light as you move past them.

Is the back of the cushion patterned too?

No, the reverse is a plain soft velvet in solid ochre, so you can turn it to show either the geometric front or a quieter plain face.

Can I remove the cover to clean it?

Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so the cover comes off the pad when you need to attend to it.

What is the oxford border?

It is a flat lip of fabric that runs around the edge of the cushion beyond the seam, giving it a framed, slightly tailored finish rather than a plain piped edge.

Is this cushion square or rectangular?

It is a landscape rectangle at 40 by 60cm, which is longer than it is tall and sits well as a front layer against larger square cushions.

What is it made from?

It is 100% polyester throughout, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour and does not stain easily, which suits a cushion that gets handled and leant on.
